Study of brain cell activity in tumor surgery patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies electrical signals from brain cells in people having surgery to remove a brain or cerebellum tumor. It aims to better understand how these cells work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tumor in your brain or cerebellum (the part at the back of your brain) that started there or spread there from another part of your body.
- Your doctor has planned a surgery to remove at least part of the tumor (called a resection).
- Your surgery is not just a small biopsy (where a tiny sample is taken).

This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This study looks at how the brain works during awake surgery for brain tumors. By asking you simple tasks while you are awake, doctors can map important brain areas to avoid damage and improve your recovery.
This study uses special recording sensors during brain tumor surgery to map the brain areas that control movement and speech. It may help the surgical team protect these key functions while removing the tumor.
This study records the activity of individual brain cells during planned brain surgery. The goal is to better understand how the brain works, which could help improve treatments for brain conditions in the future. It does not add any extra procedures or risks beyond your standard surgery.
This study tests whether real-time monitoring of brain activity during surgery helps surgeons remove brain tumors more safely while preserving important functions like speech and movement.
This study tests a new way to monitor brain activity during surgery to remove brain tumors. It may help doctors better protect important brain functions during the operation.
